FMRI-based identity classification accuracy in left temporal and frontal regions predicts speaker recognition performance

Abstract Speaker recognition is characterized by considerable inter-individual variability with poorly understood neural bases. This study was aimed at (1) clarifying the cerebral correlates of speaker recognition in humans, in particular the involvement of prefrontal areas, using multi voxel patter...
